Against Monaco, OL launches “a big month of February”
Undefeated in 2022, OL travel to Monaco this Saturday at 9 p.m. on behalf of the 23rd day of Ligue 1.
Four days after their victory in Marseille, the Lyonnais, now seventh in the standings, want “Hold on to the wagon and continue the positive results”as Anthony Lopes explained in a pre-match press conference. “We must be irreproachable in terms of state of mind and competence”insisted the Lyon goalkeeper.
Ironed in front of the Monegasques, the Gones should not ignite so far: “We will have to remain calm, focused and motivated to achieve a result in Monaco, because we have only won three times”a temporized Peter Bosz. “They play differently since the arrival of their new coach, but we know the players well”a detailed Dutch technician.
There is therefore no question of being trapped in the principality. “I think we are in the same dynamic. It’s a very good team with very strong individuals”a defendant Anthony Lopes.
With the reinforcements of Romain Faivre and Tanguy Ndombele, the Lyon goalkeeper assures him: “We are all in the same state of mind: to win no matter what. In any case, we must have a series of victories to get closer to the top of the table”. Tanguy Ndombele could start this Saturday for his big return to Lyon, while Xherdan Shaqiri, who is negotiating his departure from MLS, is absent from the group.
Faced with a direct competitor, this match will again be left or double for an OL “who comes from afar”. Above all, Monaco will be just one summit among many others to burn for the Lyonnais, who will face Nice, Lens and Lille in one month. “A big month of February”a summary by Anthony Lopes.
